I've got 3 of the 100W classic Nexode model chargers in various places around my house. They are excellent chargers, providing plenty of power to all of my devices. They stay a little warm to the touch, but nowhere near "hot", under even full load.
One thing you have to be careful about is checking the output diagrams that Ugreen very helpfully provides on their product pages. These will tell you exactly how much power to expect out of each port depending on the specific ports that are connected.
I have 3 main usecases for my 3 chargers:
1. Garage, where port 1 us used to power a laptop (usually, my Thinkpad T495s) or a Pinecil Pine64 soldering iron, and port 3 is used to power a 12V USB-PD fan, while occasionally charging a random device (bluetooth speaker or similar) with port 4. This configuration works flawlessly for me 99% of the time, where the other 1% of the time is when I have something plugged into that last port and the fan doesn't work quite right, but this is acceptable to me because the fan is a bit finicky (it's DIY). Regardless, the Thinkpad always gets its ~60W maximum draw. I may replace this with a 300W model eventually, but for now the 100W is fine.
2. Kitchen, where port 1 is used to power my Thinkpad when I need it, and port 2 is used to power my work MacBook Pro after-hours. The MacBook is quite nice in that it can charge at various rates, so this works well: when I'm sitting at the table and want to charge my Thinkpad, it gets the full ~60W it can pull while the MacBook is throttled back to ~30W; then when I'm done, the MacBook can pull the full 100W. Since the MacBook is usually asleep outside of my 9-5 work hours, 18H is plenty to charge it back up after a day of work even at the lower 30W speed.
4. Bedroom, where port 1 and port 2 are both used to power my Thinkpad, but at differenttimes - I run a cable from each to two different places around my nightstand/couch, so that I can either use the "table" plug or the "couch" plug depending on how I'm sitting; I never use both at once, so the laptop always gets its full ~60W.
So, if any of these 3 configurations sound like you, grab one of these chargers. At under $50CAD each, you really cannot go wrong.
